Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain In Children

My 9 year old son got a trampoline for xmas and after jumping on it for a little while complained of pain in the left side of his chest. He got on it again the next day and the same thing happened. No other symptoms, no other chest pain with any other type of physical activity. He hasn t been on a trampoline for years. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to jumping on trampoline is more.
So better to avoid jumping for few days.
Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid movements causing pain.
Give him painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Application of warm water pad on affected areas is also beneficial.
He will mostly improve in 1 week with above mentioned things.
If not improving then get done chest x ray to rule internal damage.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
